Defeated by members of the Losers' Club, the evil clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to terrorize the town of Derry, Maine, once again. Now adults, the childhood friends have long since gone their separate ways. But when people start disappearing, Mike Hanlon calls the others home for one final stand. Damaged by scars from the past, the united Losers must conquer their deepest fears to destroy the shape-shifting Pennywise -- now more powerful than ever.

Critics Consensus

It: Chapter Two proves bigger doesn't always mean scarier for horror sequels, but a fine cast and faithful approach to the source material keep this follow-up afloat.

Trimming the adults' often soppy individual narratives to focus on their more interesting dynamic as a group might have mitigated some of the numbness that sets in from predictability.

There's a grandness to its scale and production values that still makes It Chapter Two an enjoyable romp, but it's not the ghoulish scarefest it could be.

Not unlike the town in which it's set, Muschietti's It only sees what it wants to.

If you are a horror fan, this is one of the biggest titles there is, period. It’s not only big, it’s good. The scares are real, the story is compelling, and there are plenty of laughs.

8/10

Although it lacks in character dynamics and several attempted scares, the film has almost everything else that’s important to the novel, culminating into nearly one epic conclusion.

Because we’re dealing with fairly experienced adults instead of naïve children, the film at times feels more like a trip through an obnoxious carnival hall than journeys of personal growth.

Great sequel, but not as good as the first chapter.

A wonderful conclusion to the epic that respects its original source material while not being afraid to try its own new thing.

Watchable but so disappointed in the over the top second part. Part 1 was great. This did not measure up.

Though there are some decent parts to this film and Bill Skarsgård gives a performance just as creepy as the first film, this film is way too long and repetitive for its own good.
